Courtney Love has had her share of problems in life, but she's never loved another man as much as she's loved Edward Norton.

In an exclusive interview, Courtney recently revealed that Kurt Cobain wasn't the love of her life as most people think. But, in fact, it was the "Fight Club" star who really set her heart ablaze.

The "Hole" singer described the late Nirvana singer - the father of her 12-year-old daughter Frances Bean, who she was married to for two years - as "the best friend I ever had" but admits he could be mistrusting and hostile.

She told POP magazine, "I think he did love me. But when you're dealing with someone who is that brilliant but is tortured you have to put up with a lot of misanthropic s**t."

Love - who has previously had drug and alcohol problems - claims her one true love was actor Edward Norton.

She explained, "He's been more of a daddy to Frances than Kurt ever was."

The 42-year-old rocker appears in a series of raunchy semi-nude photographs in the latest edition of the magazine. However, Katie Grand, the editor-in-chief of POP, insists that the pictures were not what was initially intended.

She said, "We didn't plan the shoot to be raunchy - we wanted to put her in couture - but she's such a big presence. In a couture dress she seemed stiff, so it ended up being quite naked."
